Some people are happier sitting on the porch sipping hooch and crying about how tough life is than taking on the responsibilities of fame and fortune of success.
if you have followed his entire story of how this "shit show happened" you will learn that Oliver said a long time ago, - "I didn't want this, this is not what or why i set out to write my songs!" obt the American People have requested this and his presence. Understand that he has a gift, and a voice. Maybe its a 50/50 split choice if America Likes him. Kind of like our current Political situaltion..... in my view- Keep on Rocking the Free World!-
As an old hippie and Dave VonRonk fan. I love his music and attitude and wish him the best. I hope he finds good and honest people to work with him. Sometimes, success is more difficult to deal with when we are accustomed to failure.
Free to make choices and to live with those choices without being told how to think and how to feel. That's how it has always felt. Hopefully my grandkids will have the same luxury. Been rich and poor all my life and it was my choices alone that made the difference.
